The E.X.O. is a versatile exosuit capable of traversing the most extreme terrain in the galaxy. It can transform seamlessly between bipedal and wheeled modes to handle unique demands. Equipped with jump jets, it can take short controlled flights through most atmospheres.
-This model is also equipped with a printer that can synthesize raw materials into spare parts. Conveniently this icy exomoon is littered with free elements. Collect and synthesize them to customize your exosuit. A fully upgraded exosuit can overcome any obstacle.

+ +In bipedal mode, the E.X.O. grants pilots full freedom of movement, with forward, reverse, turning, and strafing controls. Pilots can jump or bunny hop continuously by holding the jump control. Jump jets can be activated by releasing and then holding the jump control while mid-jump.
+Pressing the Transform control toggles its mode. In wheeled mode, the E.X.O. gains a substaintial speed boost at the expends of some freedoms, surrendering its ability to strafe and jump. Pressing and holding the jump control will immediately activate jump jets in this mode.
+With certain upgrades, the E.X.O. gains new abilities. For example, with the Vectors upgrade, pilots can direct their jump jets in any lateral direction by holding the forward, reverse, or strafing controls. Similarly, with the RCS Thrusters upgrade, they may turn mid-flight with the turning controls.
+ +Much of the surrounding terrain is obscured by bright ice and fog. By pressing the Sonify Terrain control, pilots can visualize local elevation differences with pitch. During the scan, the passage of time is paused so pilots can plot their next moves.
+Importantly, its results are communicated as streams of tones that extend outward from pilots to a 100-meter semicircle ahead of them. Level terrain is carefully tuned to Middle C, with each octave corresponding to 100 meters in either vertical direction.
+ +Materials are persistent objects which spawn in clusters throughout the world. They are grouped into four categories with unique sounds and uses. To collect them, pilots must get close and have available space.
+Pilots can inspect their inventory from the Materials screen. Each material type has a maximum capacity independent from one another. Pilots can increase their material capacity with the Cargo Racks upgrade.
+ +Pilots are alerted whenever they have enough materials to synthesize a new upgrade for their exosuits. From the Synthesis screen, pilots can browse available upgrades, view their costs, and spend materials to synthesize them.
+Eventually, pilots will synthesize all upgrades and exhaust all uses for materials. With the Recycler upgrade, excess materials will be vaporized for temporal storage. Perhaps this may become useful later.
The E.X.O. can produce certain strobing patterns when moving at high velocities. Please navigate to the Graphics screen to make adjustments or disable them entirely.
The bright white light reflecting off the ice and falling snow makes it difficult to see. Overhead the colossal silhouette of the primary gas giant hangs tidally locked in the east. The E.X.O. visually reconstructs nearby terrain as black points on your heads-up-display. They suggest a relatively young surface with recent geological activity.
